What arowana is best to start with?

[Draken]

just wondering what arowana do anyone suggest to start with SILVERS or JARDINIs just want to know
or what did you choose and what size?

I started with a jardini who's now 5-6inches. Awesome fish! It'd more or less be a question of what your future aro is going into, tankmates(if any), and 'taste'..

i started with a silver at 3" sold it at 24"+(the one in my avatar) and now have multiple of both

I would say one of the cheaper species either a Jardini, Silver or Green....
Then once you got them down go with the more exotic Asians...

 

[sbuse]

also since your in the us...it all comes down to your tank...silver/black bigger tank if you have a "smaller" then get a jar or lei...

nice info i actually have a Jardini and a Lei both in seperate tanks Jar is now 7 in and lei breaking the 5 inch mark

i say silvers because they are the cheapest.

Agreed. I love the look of a nice healthy fat silver.

silvers are pretty hardy...but jars can be aggressive
ive had silvers b4 so today i decided to try out the jars

Shoot hawaiian, If you can, get a African, silver, black. All hardy fish to keep. BUt, it all depends on the tank space.
